Hello everybody! I have a pretty limited amount of time but here we go.
Thank you Rachel Chumley for your letter I am really enjoying my time here and I only have 7 weeks from today until I get sent out :) Good job to your football team winning over port angeles 41-0 is pretty impressive I would have to say. And also, I said this before but I highly recommend byu provo for a college choice it is an awesome place I love you and hope you are doing well :)
Aunt Julie! you have very good timing skills, that is awesome that you knew when my flight would be going over the twin fallish area, and I defintely waved back too because Buhl is super visible from the sky, with all those landmarks, and tons of houses and everything :) I know Tasha is quite a hit with all the guys but she should definitely stay away from the 8th graders, little young. I am glad you get to record and watch conference talks, I get to watch them fairly often over here, and just watched the Joseph Smith movie and I love it :) the part when he is a young boy and has to have surgery hits me the most, but the whole movie is great, and everyone should watch it, if they already have or not, it is great.
Kayla! thank you so much for your letters I really appreciate the scripture refference I am looking for a lot of uplifting scriptures whenever I need a boost and that is defintely a good one, look up D&C 121:7-10 :) I have a lot of others too that I really like. but right now that one is my favorite. I do not really have time to draw pokemon right now, but when I get home I will defintely be sure to do that, it is something that I do miss a bit, but its okay.
Tasha! I will be writing you a written letter soon! so... wait for that :D
Kaity Stambaugh, not going to lie I think you sent me the shortest letter, even shorter than Trevor's and he sent a couple, I love hearing from you though :) and I am not trying to pick on you too much, I miss you and hope that school is going well, take full advantage of college, it is so much fun even though at times it is not super easy.
Little Trevor Brother! I really liked hearing from you too, I love you so much and I cannot wait to see you again, even though you might be bigger than me when I get home, I am eating a lot, but I have lost about 5-6 lbs since I have gotten here, there is not quite enough time to exercise, so get an extra 2 years worth before you get to the MTC okay buddy! It will come sooner than you think it will. And Trevor I am expecting you to be able to bench press a llama by the time I get home, I expect nothing less. Love you Trevor :)
Linda! I will send you a written letter with Tasha's, it might be a bit before I have time, my P-day is running short today so I will defintely write it by next Monday, I appreciate the letter and I hope everything is going well, I love you Linda :)
Home family of mine, I am going to write you too, today ended up being crazy busy and I will hopefully get a letter to you soon. The picture printing machine is broken but it will hopefully be up soon, I will send pictures as soon as I can. I look good in a suit, quite handsome I might say.
I also want to say I love Sister Tryon her letters really do make me happy, they are uplifting and help me keep chugging along, I wait for them every week :)
I also want to say sorry if I sounded kind of negative last week, it was a bit of an adjustment coming here, but it has really gone uphill from that point and I am enjoying my time here, the food is good, the spirit is so strong, and I am learning so much here, it is a great experience and I expect every LDS young man to go on a mission, or I might have to hunt you down, seriously I will.
I would also like to say I have received more letters than anyone in my hall, I felt kind of bad about it at first, but I guess I do not need to feel bad ha, keep sending the letters, I really love getting them and I am trying my best to respond to all of them, but it is very hard cause there is not much time at all.
I really love the Elders in my district and in my zone they are all great elders and I am learning a lot from them, the oldest elders in my group are leaving in 7 days, and I am 6 weeks behind them, so still a little ways away, I am really excited for them but I am going to miss them a lot.
There are a couple of things that are not completely awesome here. There are always a few elders who decide that they want to stay up later than curfew, and it seems like there goal is to keep everyone else awake, and they seems to be successful a lot of the time, so I got some pretty nifty earplugs, but I take them out in my sleep, and usually find them like 1/2 way across the room. I dont know exactly what I do with them.
Since my last letter back I have been able to hear from M. Russell Ballard and Sister Sheri Dew, they both gave outstanding talks and I learned a lot from them about being a good missionary and bettering my own life as well as the people I may have some influence over. I did miss Elder Richard G. Scott by one day from when I got here, but he handed out a sheet of things he has learned and gave a few of them out, my zone leader got one, and I will share some of those things with you after I return home ;)
Well knowing me, I tend to goof off, and like to have a good time when I am doing sports. If they allowed Ultimate Frisbee here it would be worse but I have cuts on both my arms, legs, hands, on my chest and on my back.. All from playing volleyball, and I am being pretty careful, but I just cannot really help diving for the ball sometimes, and I have a few blood stains on various atricles of clothing, who ever knew that could happen.
Okay, there are a few people who have not written me since I have been here... it has not been very long since I got here.. but I am going to call you out anyways, Alivia, Kandi, Natasha, Jenny, Brieccia you all should write me soon.. I do not know if you ever read this blog ha, but somehow you might get this message, I want to know how you are doing :)
So far Trevor, my mom and my Dad are winning, I think that is because they love me the most :) I will send a written letter soon, I just dont think I will have time today, I love all of you and miss you, I wish you the very best and hope everything is going well.
Be good :)
